Funnel Your Passion into Teamwork and Creativity

It's all about teamwork for the first half of April, with planets illuminating your 11th House of Groups. Getting along with colleagues can be the key to success and may even help propel you to a higher level. There's a competitive atmosphere, though, in which keeping your sense of humor while pushing as fast as you can, is important. You may have to deal with an aggressive boss or co-worker, or maybe a rude and impatient customer. When Mercury, your ruling planet, enters fiery Aries on April 2, you're not likely to be standing still. Your curious mind restlessly searches for new projects, so if you're locked into a routine job, you might show a bit more aggression than usual. That's because you crave change and may become irritated if you don't get it.

Talk to friends about different opportunities -- they may have some leads for you. Or they could give you some bright ideas about taking your professional life in a totally new direction. Giving up a steady salary for the freedom and excitement of sales work or starting your own company is tempting now. Mercury shifts into earthy Taurus on the 17th, slowing you down and drawing your attention to more practical matters. The Sun enters Taurus on April 19, putting even more emphasis on taking care of business in an efficient manner. You may have to do your most important work behind the scenes without getting full credit for it, but you're building a foundation to support your future advancement.
